Common complaints

  • Harsh paywall on free scans, expensive subscriptions ($30/month, $400/year, $400 for business)60% of mentions

    «For casual users, it's way too expensive... only paid options. Designed for regular users solely to squeeze as much money as possible out of them.»

  • Processing errors: freezing, stalling at 0-4%, loading not progressing35% of mentions
